Yokoyama Shohei [Japan]

Born in Okayama, 1985. Glass artist, and part-time lecturer at Tama Art University.
Feeling the breath of life in the transparent and fluid body of glass, he visualizes its inner power through the physical act of blowing air. The glass that expands with the breath of life becomes an embryo, pregnant with signs of life.
Yokoyama has exhibited his works in museums, galleries, and art fairs in Japan and abroad. He was selected as a finalist for the LOEWE Craft Prize 2018 (The DESIGN MUSEUM, UK) and won the Grand Prix at the 15th Okayama Prefecture Mr. I Award for the Promotion of Emerging Artists.
